Feinberg said most of the claims reviewed within the first week he took over lacked the minimal documentation needed to be paid.

Feinberg said most of the claims reviewed withing the first week he took over lacked the minimal documentation needed to be paid.

Feinberg took over the claims process last Monday. He said almost 19-thousand claims were submitted last week. Only about 1,200 were compensated - totalling about six million dollars.

Feinberg said those who lacked the proper paperwork will be notified.

Feinberg shared that information at the Southern Governors Association meeting in Hoover last weekend.

Those in charge of cleaning up the coast from the oil spill are there again Monday.

BP CEO Bob Dudley said officials will meet today with Alabama Attorney General Troy King to discuss the state's $148 million claim against BP for the Gulf oil spill.
